This Antigua ½-cent stamp features the full-length portrait of a Private of the 12th Regiment of Foot (The Suffolk), shown in his 1704 scarlet uniform with white facings and tricorne hat. The soldier is depicted with musket and cartridge belt, reflecting early 18th-century British regimental dress used across colonial garrisons, including the Caribbean. Issued as part of Antigua’s beautifully illustrated military uniforms series, this stamp is prized for its crisp artwork, classic typography, and well-defined historical subject. A fine addition to any thematic collection on military history, British regiments, Antigua, or uniform evolution.
